Jen from Upcycle Education has a great tutorial for these fun, funky, fresh tanks. The construction of them reminds me a lot of the pillow case dress. Jen is trying to help people like me be a little less white trash. I admit I cut up t-shirts, to work out in. I don't do the funky 80's punk slits, I cut the neck and sleeves off because they are always too long and the neck to tight and I end up looking like Adam Sandler from the Wedding Singer (not cute Drew Barrymore or his trashy ex). Then after I few weeks I realize my gross misjudgment and toss them out. It's bad enough I can't even work out in them. You'd think after realizing it once I'd quit doing it, but sadly I've made more then a few. Jen is trying to save the world from people like me. I think these are adorable and I plan to make some for my baby girls this summer. Nothing is cuter then baby chub and I intend to show mine off (not me, yuck. No my cute chubby baby girl)

I don't crochet, but if I did - I would totally make these. Are they not the cutest things ever? This could actually make someone want to learn how to crochet. I mean if you were having a baby shower wouldn't you love opening a cute box and finding these inside instead of more baby burp rags? Really. Is there any question at all. I found them via pinterest (my love/hate time waster site) but you can get the pattern here if you know how to do this kind of cool stuff.

A Little About Us...

We began with a mutual love of aprons. Having never sewn at all, a couple of us decided to get together and try our hand at sewing an apron. And the Secret Stitch Club was formed (we got our name from Maren's husband who sarcastically asked us one time if we put a secret stitch in our aprons). Almost two years and dozens of aprons later, we still meet weekly to sew, chat, share ideas, eat, and laugh. We share our latest creations and newest inspirations on this blog. Thanks for visiting us!
